Teacher Feedback Comment Bank
Search, copy, and adapt actionable feedback for student writing. Add a specific text reference and align every comment to your own assignment rubric before sharing it.
Claim and focus
Clarify the claim this paragraph is trying to prove, then keep each sentence tied to that purpose.
Return to the assignment question here so the reader can see why this point matters.
Revise the topic sentence to name both the paragraph's idea and its role in the overall argument.
Evidence
Add a specific example, quotation, or data point that directly supports this claim.
Explain how this evidence supports the claim instead of leaving the connection implied.
Use the strongest available evidence here and identify its source or context.
Reasoning and analysis
Move beyond description by explaining why this detail changes the reader's understanding of the issue.
Test the assumption behind this argument and explain whether the conclusion still holds.
Compare the two interpretations before deciding which is better supported by the evidence.
Organization
Move this explanation closer to the evidence it interprets so the reasoning is easier to follow.
Use a transition that names the relationship between this paragraph and the previous one.
Use the conclusion to synthesize the argument rather than repeat each body paragraph.
Revision and reflection
For the next draft, revise this paragraph first because it has the greatest effect on the overall argument.
Highlight the sentence that best answers the criterion, then strengthen the evidence around it.
After revising, explain which rubric criterion improved and what change produced that improvement.
Name the issue
Choose one high-leverage issue instead of overwhelming the student with every possible correction.
Point to evidence
Add a sentence, paragraph, or quotation reference so generic wording becomes specific feedback.
Make the next move clear
Describe what the student should do in the next draft and which criterion the revision improves.
